<step><cmd>In the <b>EJB JAR file</b> combination box, enter the location

from the <tm tmclass="special" tmowner="Microsoft Corporation" tmtype="reg"
trademark="Windows">Windows</tm> Explorer or desktop onto the Project Explorer
view. The Import wizard will open with appropriate fields already populated.
If you drop on an existing EJB module, the wizard will import into that EJB
module. If you drop on an enterprise application, the wizard will bind the
new EJB module to this EAR.</note><note>The .ser files in an EJB 1.0 JAR are
converted into the ejb-jar.xml file for EJB 1.1 during an import.</note></result>
